"ISIS is used in organizations other than ISPs" Any examples you can share of some other than ISPs? -----Original Message----- From: Joel jaeggli [mailto:joelja@bogus.com] Sent: Wednesday, February 15, 2012 11:58 PM To: Kenneth M.

How widespread would you say the use of IS-IS is?
Even more as to which routing protocols are used, not just in ISPs, what percent would you give to the various ones. In other words X percent of organizations use OSPS, Y percent use EIGRP, and so on.
Using EIGRP implies your routed IGP dependent infrastructure is a monoculture. That's probably infeasible without compromise even if you are largely a Cisco shop. ISIS is used in organizations other than ISPs.

Hi friends,
As some of you may know, I occasionally teach networking to college students and I frequently encounter misconceptions about some aspect of networking that can take a fair amount of effort to correct.
For instance, a topic that has come up on this list before is how the inappropriate use of classful terminology is rampant among students, books and often other teachers. Furthermore, the terminology isn't even always used correctly in the original context of classful addressing.
I have a handful of common misconceptions that I'd put on a top 10 list, but I'd like to solicit from this community what it considers to be the most annoying and common operational misconceptions future operators often come at you with.
I'd prefer replies off-list and can summarize back to the list if there is interest.
